💜 Tips for Gluten-Free Eating
-Read labels carefully
Gluten is found in many processed foods, so always check the labels for hidden sources of gluten. Look for products specifically labeled “gluten-free” to ensure they meet necessary standards.
-Whole grains
Instead of relying on processed gluten-free flours or mixes, incorporate whole grains. Quinoa, rice, buckwheat, or oats are great options.
-Explore new ingredients
Eating gluten-free opens the door to a variety of new foods and flavors. Experiment with alternative grains like millet or amaranth, and explore gluten-free pasta and bread options made with rice flour, chickpea flour, or almond flour.
-Get creative with snacks
Many gluten-free snacks are available, but you can easily make your own by using naturally gluten-free ingredients such as rice cakes, veggies with dip, or homemade popcorn.
